KISS OF THE SPIDER WOMAN by M. Pouig
A timeless, controversial gay classic "Kiss of the Spider Woman" comes back to London. Directed by an established Russian dissident and provocateur, this tale of love, victimization, and fantasy includes two rising stars of stage and screen. This is a story about the friendship that develops between two strikingly different men imprisoned together in a Latin American jail.
In the still darkness of their cell, Molina (Jeremy Chevillotte - Netflix’s Top Boy and The King) re-weaves the glittering and fragile stories of the film he loves, and the cynical Valentin (Crispin Holland- Woyzeck and The Wild Duck) listens. Valentin believes in the just cause which makes all suffering bearable; Molina believes in the magic of love which makes all else endurable. Each has always been alone, and always - especially now - in danger of betrayal. But in cell 7 both surrender to the other something of themselves that they never have before.
